Before I duplicate effort/waste time...
Anyone have any flightplans for USCG aircraft (fixed or rotary) out of St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport (KPIE)?

I spent some "unalbe to sleep time" this morning adding to and redoing the parking at KPIE using AFX. The attachment shows where I'm at - about 90% complete. Right now it's in FS9 format, but after adding vehicle paths, fencing, etc., it's probably gonna end up as a FSX-specifc afcad.

((While flying around I ran into 2 QF-4's out of KPAM. Kinda funny to see target drones over a large, inhabited city like Tampa-St. Pete.))

Im at Travers City CGAS. I'll see what I can find for you. I do know they have C-130's, AS365 Dolphin's on station. CG activity is shared mainly between KPIE, Opa Locka, Key West. Those are the Big three with Key West being the AVDET Station. spent 6 great months outa Key West before being sent for AVDET duty at MUGM NAS.

Thanks

USCG CGAS KPIE-- Largest airbase in the USCG. local area, our Area of Operations includes theGulf of Mexico, the Caribbean basin, and the Bahamas. We constantly maintain deployed H-60s for Operations Bahamas, Turks and Caicos (OPBAT), a joint DEA, Coast Guard, Bahamian Turks and Caicos anti-drug and migrant smuggling operation in the Bahamas. We also have C-130s deployed in support of JIATF operations in the Caribbean. This is done while simultaneously maintaining a constant Bravo Zero Search and Rescu response at home in Florida.

St. Petersburg,FL / Clearwater IAP / AIRSTA Clearwater (ICAO code: KPIE)
The base became operational on 1976 and utilizes HH-60J helicopter and HC-130H aircraft.

Runway data: Rwy 04/22, Size: 1676 m (5500 ft) x 46 m (150 ft), Elev: 3m (10 ft).

Runway data: Rwy 09/27, Size: 1574 m (5165 ft) x 46 m (150 ft), Elev: 3m (10 ft).

Runway data: Rwy 17R/35L, Size: 1219 m (4000 ft) x 23 m (75 ft), Elev: 3m (10 ft).

Runway data: Rwy 17L/35R, Size: 2682 m (8800 ft) x 46 m (150 ft), Elev: 3m (10 ft).

This data is current public release data that I can Post. There AS365's dolphins are assigned to Key west . On occassion from experiance the HC-144 and HU-25 pay monthly visits. No Mh-68 Hitron units are assigned to KPIE as thats up in Jacksonville, Fl.

Numbers of HH-60 and C-130's assigned there?
Sat photos only show 3 C-130's.

See what I can do. Have to contact there Aviation Chief mechanic officer to see if they'll release numbers. Correct three C-130's are on station plus 2 on hold in hanger area in case of mechanical troubles.

I'm not personally worried about serial #'s... Generic paints work fine for me.

I'm just wondering how many helos/aircraft to fp as being stationed there.

Thanks for your help.

HITRON at KVQQ (Cecil Field, Jacksonville) now has the MH-65C.
